10th Adult Education Academy

Adult Education Academy

The 10th Adult Education Academy 2023 will take place from 6.-17. February 2023. The first week is planned as online-Academy, to be able to realise the second week of the Adult Education Academy on Campus Würzburg.

There will be an application for travelling grants at DAAD and it is expected that one will be able to provide them to many participants.

Since 2014, the Adult Education Academy has been hosted at the University of Würzburg in Bavaria, Germany, in
the first two weeks of February. The Adult Education Academy promotes international networks in adult education and lifelong learning, aiming to foster a connection between academic learning and the field of adult education. During the preparatory phase and the two-week intensive programme, participants develop and refine their analytical and comparative skills in adult education in an international environment. They gain an understanding of internationally relevant educational policies in the context of lifelong learning, while strengthening their communication, teambuilding and critical thinking skills by working together in this international setting.

Target groups

Master’s and doctoral students in adult education, as well as colleagues from the field of adult education and lifelong learning (hereafter “practitioners”) are invited to join the Adult Education Academy in Würzburg. Practitioners should have experiences in adult education (e.g. teaching, programme planning, management in institutions of adult education associations). As a minimum requirement, all participants should hold a bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) in a subject related to lifelong learning.

Please be aware that participation is only possible if you complete the preparations during the preparation phase, and attend the full programme, which starts on 6 February 2023, 9:00 am CET and ends on 17 February 2023 at
5:00 pm CET
